Fannie Lou Hamer was so willing to continue the fight for freedom and voters' right that even after being shot at and forced to move off of W. D. Marlowe's plantation, she declared she would continue to keep moving. She exclaimed, "If I fall, I'll fall 5 feet 4 inches forward in the fight for freedom." Hamer suffered severely from the 1964 jail house beating in Winona, MS but she did so because she knew there was a brighter day ahead. President Barack Obama is a true testament to Mrs. Hamer's willingness to encounter numerous death threats for a better America. Her testimonial before the Credentials Committee at the National Democratic Convention in 1964 proved to be an eye opening opportunity for America to hear how African Americans were being treated in the South if they dared tried to register to vote. Hamer, a Field Secretary of SNCC, never turned around regardless of the dangers she feared was ahead.

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama shortly after he is sworn in as the 44th President of The United States of America.
